I really only have Gears3 and Skyrim on my list... Might even pass on Skyrim since I still have Oblivion, both Fallouts, ME2 (started playing as friends were finishing it and got sidetracked), and have been playing the **** out of Mount & Blade...

I thought it was amazing. The facial animations alone could sell that game, but I loved the story and while the general gameplay was familiar, if you've played any Rockstar game. It was still extremely solid all around. Fun game.

Also, the first three Devil May Cry games got confirmed for an HD re-release for both consoles today. Big fan of those titles, plan on purchasing that for sure.

lol. That's creepy. If a game is a default first person game...the third person stuff always looks bad. Even if you're a third person guy, you might as well stick to the superior playing angle. Because normally it will look rather pathetic. It's nice that they give you the option, but it's always crap. Fallout and Oblivion are also hilariously bad in third person mode.

As for DMC, could never get into it. I didnt like those games at all. I was much more into God of War.

Those games will always hold a special place in my heart if only for the fact that they were the first M rated games that I was able to convince my parents to allow me to play haha. Looking back on them now, they're quite over the top and really cheesy, but it's still a blast to play. I'm the opposite really, I could never get into God of War. Great games and I enjoy playing them even....I just always seem to stop halfway through for whatever reason.

You should see the animations for Battlefield 3. They're some of the best I've ever seen.

Crysis announced for consoles. That's a genuine feat of technical wizardry right there with the level of graphic detail and scale of the environments. Probably should have done this before releasing Crysis 2, but better late than never I suppose. I'll probably be buying it again considering it made my graphics card cry and just didn't run very well on my PC, despite how much I enjoyed it. It's probably the stronger single player experience of the two(It's actually a lot like Deus Ex in some ways), but it will be interesting to see what they do with the multiplayer. It was kind of underwhelming and felt more like a tacked on thing. Might be a good chance to try to balance things out and refocus some stuff.

It was rumored by some ratings board leak, but never announced and never shown footage. Price got announced to; 1600 MS points, which isn't bad for a 12 hour game with multiplayer at all.

But yeah, even cooler news of the day; 20 minute E3 demo of Kingdoms of Amalur

Amazing looking stuff. The art style is a little too World of Warcraft for my taste, but that's easy to get past. The combat looks fast and responsive...but the RPG elements look strong as well. It looks like an Elder Scrolls game, what Dragon Age 2 should have been, and Fable had a baby and trained it to fight. So yeah, take my money Curt Schilling.

Friend and I finally got to play Dead Island co-op yesterday. The game is really fun. Still has some bugs to be worked out, but most of the game-breaking ones are gone.

The game could definitely be done better. Weapons degrade way too quickly (and for some of them, it's like "WTF?", eg a lead pipe breaking?), the characters are terrible (seems to be on purpose - the mohawk, tribal tattoo, Texan d-bag has a skill tree that makes drinking alcohol beneficial. It's more Borderlands than Fallout.

Lot's of news today, apparently. The Battlefield 3 open beta is supposedly dated to start September 29th for all platforms. I'm defiantly in for that. I'll probably give it a shot on both consoles to see which one runs it the best. Early word was that the PS3 version would be a bit better, but things might have changed by then.

Fall is starting to become very crowded haha. I've got Dark Souls and RAGE like three days after that beta starts.

I pre-ordered it on the PC so I'm hoping I get in early. WOO! Can't wait for a little BF3 action. I'm gonna destroy soooo many buildings with the new Frostbite 2 engine.
